    Hi Joey

    I am assuming ED is Erectile dysfunction?

    Have you went to your doctor to see if there is something can been done to correct this as your still very young?

    I wouldn't do anything major until you can see if this can be sorted.  The need to have a full penctomy could be coming from the fact you are so stressed and depressed with your situation at the minute..

    Please go to the doctors or if you have been before go back and make sure all areas are covered to help you..

    You would also need some sort of therapy to work through what is going on.. If nothing can be done to change your ED it would be important to  make sure that its not your low mood and stress that is causing you to want to have a penctomy..

      Hi Laura,

      Yes it is, I have been to see a urologist and I have diabetic nerve damage, I have tried lots of meds but nothing works.

      I would go back to your GP then and discuss other options and if your heart is set on this then I would discuss it with them.
